Hang's 2002 Life List

I've always been a fan of lists. I love to list the things I currently love in my journal, make grocery lists for my weekly Costco visits or make a list of predictions that I think will occur in the future. I'm not sure why I do it. I guess it keeps me amused, and that's what it is all about... my entertainment.

I made a list many years ago (8-9-2002 to be exact) to do a bunch of things in my life. Looking at the list today- I wonder what the heck I was thinking, and how am I going to finish this list? Oh, to be young and foolish again. Man, that was almost 7 years ago...

I now present you with my 2002 life list. Anything in italics means I've done it.  (Note: I have changed how I worded some things on my list.)

1. Travel to a real foreign place. (Egypt, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Greece, Spain, etc.)
2. Go do something EXTREME. (bungee jump, ski, surf, rock climb, etc.) 
3. Scare a telemarketer. (I did this awhile ago when I meowed at the person.)
4. Road trip somewhere. 
5. Go on a camping trip.
6. Confess to a crush that I like him. (What the heck was I thinking?! I can barely talk to someone I like. How am I suppose to tell him I like him? SIGH.)
7. Stay at a ranch for a week. 
8. Take a cruise somewhere exciting.
9. Find the purpose of my life.
10. Volunteer somewhere worthwhile.
11. Rent and stay at a beach house for a week. (Frances, didn't we want to do this when we were in HS?)
12. Hug or compliment 3 strangers. (I've probably done this many times although I can't think of a particular incident.)
13. Leave an anonymous gift for someone.
14. Buy something antique.
15. Ride a horse or elephant. (Rode a horse, but never an elephant. I don't know if I really want to ride an elephant anymore. I feel sorry for them.)
16. Get married and have 3 children. (I've always wanted an odd number of children.)
17. Be successful at my career.
18. Go to a spa and get a full treatment.
19. Go to all 50 states. (Oh, I can't wait until I do this one.)
20. Get a pet.
21. Visit a ghost town.
22. Try to eat 5 different foods that I would not normally eat.
23. Have some sort of collection. (What don't I collect? I have books, stickers, pins, stamps, coins, etc. I'm a bit obsessive.)
24. Have a picnic by the beach. 
25. Receive a love letter. (No one has actually ever written me a love letter.)

There you have it, folks. It looks like I should get the ball rolling, and actually do something soon. Like now.
